Náhodným šťouráním na webu AMD jsme získali aktuální release notes k zatím nevydaným ovladačům Catalyst 10.2 (vyjdou dnes večer). Protože o hlavních novinkách v Catalyst 10.2 a 10.3 víme už delší dobu, chystáme větší článek, kde nové vlastnosti popíšeme více do hloubky. Berte proto následující seznam změn jako upoutávku.

Nové ovladače zatím ke stažení nejsou, během večera je očekávejte na tradičním umístění game.amd.com

Nové funkce:

  • profily pro CrossFireX (to, co už dávno mají GeForce)
  • úsporná technologie PowerPlay i na CrossFireX zapojeních
  • přenos zvuku skrz DisplayPort
  • CrossFireX i na vícemonitorovém systému s Eyefinity

Navýšení výkonu:

  • DiRT 2 – až 8% nárůst na Radeonech HD 5970, HD 5800 a HD 5700
  • Battleforge – až 6% na Radeonu HD 5870
  • Unigine Heaven – zvýšení výkonu v CrossFire HD 5700 a HD 5800 v režimu DirectX 9
  • The Chronicles of Riddick – Assault on Dark Athena – nárust asi 4 % na Radeonu HD 5970

Z dalších zlepšení je třeba zmínit několik oprav ve Windows 7 u Eyefinity, přehrávání videa, pro všechny rozlišení lze zvolit 120Hz obnovovací frekvenci atd. Ve Vista by měl korektně běžet test Stream v SiSoftware Sandra 2010 a oprava stability přehrávání videa po probuzení z režimu spánku. Oprava videa se týká i XP. Kompletní seznam změn včetně známých ale nevyřešených chyb stahujte zde.
